The penalties for plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty include reduced grades, course failure, suspension and dismissal.
Baptist University has become the second higher education institution in Hong Kong to ban students from using the controversial artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT in their assignments due to concerns over plagiarism.
Launched by the Microsoft-backed OpenAI in November last year, ChatGPT has been fed vast amounts of data to generate human-like responses to text inputs. The system can converse on a wide range of topics, from politics to sports to science, making it a valuable resource for students and educators alike.
Ting said the AI chatbot was of little help in writing her papers due to the complexity of the subject, and she predicted the AI tools would be used more for homework at the secondary school level. According to Chau, Baptist University would regularly review its teaching skills, including the proper use of technologies to further learning.
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology said it had established procedures for handling plagiarism and would closely monitor the technology’s impact on academic and research work before reviewing its policies.
